Living near a forest was wonderful, except for the smell of trash that lingered from the animal’s midnight feasts!

Alex had just gotten his license and was speeding down the street in front of his school. He thought the school zones were silly, and he ignored the signs warning him of double fines if you’re caught speeding there.
